im hoping because he is being a gentleman.
Everyone’s talking about Britney Spears, except for one key player from her past: Justin Timberlake.
While promoting his film "Alpha Dog," Timberlake was asked his thoughts on Britney by new FOX News Entertainment producer Ashley Dvorkin.
It’s a fair question, given that the two grew up together on the "Mickey Mouse Club," came of age together as pop superstars and conducted a very high-profile romance during which they were all too willing to be photographed in those cheesy his-and-hers outfits (go back and look up those powder blue threads if you don’t remember).
But Timberlake would say nothing about Britney. In fact, he waved his hand and uttered "No comment" faster than you can say "Future Sex/Love Sounds" — the title of his Grammy-nominated album. Clearly he’s not interested in making any kind of love sounds about the woman with whom he’s had past sex.
The new Justin — the one who's transitioning into a "serious" actor, gets kudos from the Grammys, dates movie star Cameron Diaz and even has his own clothing line – does not want to be associated with a tabloid train wreck who’s yet to prove she can get her life back on track.
From a business perspective it’s understandable, for the reasons above. But from a personal standpoint, Timberlake could have been more of a stand-up guy. How hard is it to say something like, "I’m not sure about the headlines, but I wish Britney success"?
To steal one of her song titles, I guess Britney’s former lover really does view her as "Toxic."
